Laurel and Hardy

I love these guys! I'm a big fan of all their movies.

Unfortunately, their movies have gotten similar treatment as the Star Wars Trilogy; only a few are on DVD, some are colorized, and some have been edited from their original versions.

Maybe there's a originallaurelandhardy.com petition somewhere!

Step 1: Get Turner Classic Movies
Step 2: Get a DVR/DVD burner (Toshiba makes one)
Step 3: Wait for a Laurel and Hardy marathon.
Step 4: Burn them.

Every so often TCM runs Laurel and Hardy marathons. DVR the entire thing then record it. My dad has several DVDs of them now.

I did the same with a recent Three Stooges marathon on SpikeTV recently. 2 disks with 18 shorts, including one that had 4 stooges (after his heart attack, Curly had cameo appearances in a handful of them).

So I guess you must hate this movie.

I'm a Three Stooges fan myself. Could never take Laurel and Hardy. Never cared for Abbot & Costello, either.

You know it's bad when IMDb has a link at the bottom that says, if you like this movie, they you'll like "Ernest In the Army."

I cannot believe that Pinchot played Laurel. That is just sad.

I watched 30 seconds of that movie once, I HAD to turn the TV off and go to the bathroom wash my eyes...

I assume you're talking about the movie?

Thankfully, it apparently did nothing. Never heard of it until today. I wish I still hadn't.

I was replying to Trooperman. I would have quoted him, but at the time I started typing, his was the only post there. You and I wound up posting at almost the same time so it looks like mine should be a reply to your post. But, alas, it is not.

Here's another fine mess...etc.

If you watch Laurel and Hardy, that's a derrogatory comment Ollie always makes to Stan.

Meant to be a joke

But gosh, this new movie sounds really bad. I'm glad I haven't seen it.

I never liked laurel and hardy too much... I watched very few films of them... I prefer Chaplin's early stuff, or Harold Lloyd, or Buster Keaton.

I don't like Buster Keaton because George Lucas has said that he inspired the character of Jar-Jar.

Jar Jar is NOTHING like Buster Keaton...

Jar Jar Binks is like... an early 70's Hanna Barbera cartoon character with an anoying voice...

Still furthering my Star Wars/Scooby Doo theory...

Jar Jar looks like a Hanna Barbara cartoon character
He talks in a ridiculous voice like Scooby Doo
The Phantom Menace sounds like an episode of Scooby Doo

Any more?

"So, uh, George, what are you doing?"

"Writing the Episode 1 script... At least I'm trying to, man I hate writing... I could only write 2 pages, and the principal photography begins next week!"

"I see, well good luck on that... Changing topic, look what I've found on the internet, a never-produced script for the original Scooby Doo series, wanna read it?"

"Never produced, eh? Hmnnnn..."

Yeah, I'd have to agree, I was never a big fan of L&H or A&C, but I loved the stooges.

At least the Original Curly years, Shemp and Curly Joe I can't stand.
